This is a question Ignorance

I once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

From the farsical to the funny.
I was chatting to a lovely young lady online a few years ago. I stated matter of factly 'what's the time down there?', I replied, oh that means it's an hour later here. She believed me. I don't know if she still thinks there is an hour difference north to south.

My parents have recently bought a new house, 150 yards around the corner. I can see the new house from the garden. I walk past my new bedroom everyday. I knew the previous owners. It is quite literally in our back garden, if we could get rid of a few hedges we could carry everything across one garden and through the back doors. Well that's what (not the hedge removal) my dear mother thought. Get my brothers work van, and move the entire contents of a 4 bedroomed house, with a few boxes from works deliveries over a few hours. 4 double beds, several wardrobes, all the tat from a whole kitchen, garage, loft, you get the picture. Me and my brother in a van. It would take a month!

North to south of where?
There's an hour difference North to South on the East Coast of Australia for half the year. "Online" is quite vague. Perhaps there WAS an hour's difference?

I was rushing, and pretending to wank. The UK, Bournemouth to at the time Leeds, she said something like its 9am, and I said it was 10pm, ie. an hour later.

Did you do that deliberately to enrage my sense of pedantry?

I am fairly confident that he is just, in fact, a spastic shitcunt.

What?
For reference, the time difference between North and South is measured in years, not hours.

I do indeed believe it was quite funny, and farsical. I do enjoy gardening.

Thinking your own shit story was funny just makes you a bell.
And it's farcical, not farsical, you mong.
